For sure! It's just one of those fun little legal oddities, like the time the ATF classified a 14" string with loops on either end as a machinegun
On some level I appreciate when laws say 'no, really, you cannot do that, no matter how much you jump through your ass.' Like how silencers are regulated in a way where no clever horseshit workaround is tolerated; if it does the thing then that's what's verboten.
The fact you're not allowed to make your gun go BANG instead of BANG invites much less appreciation.
